Even My Teenagers Loved It!!!

"Most amazing getaway! Owners were wonderful. Beds are very comfortable. I loved sitting on the deck each morning and evening. It was the perfect getaway- even for my 13 and 17 year olds! They loved the ping pong table. My husband and daughter loved fishing. Highly recommend going to the resort up the road to float the river... And eat ice cream!!"

Stunning views

"This house, perched on a hill, at the end of a private road, is perfect if you want privacy, quietness, and nature. It is very well maintained, equipped and organized. We appreciated how clean everything was. Its setting in the middle of the countryside, but still close to a small town makes it convenient. The surroundings are very pretty, and the view form the great porch is simply stunning - even my blasé teenagers admitted it! It's a great place to stay at while exploring southern Oregon. I will certainly recommend it to my friends and family."

Great stay in the Blue Heron House

"We had a great four night stay in the Blue Heron House. Our host, Rich, was friendly and introduced us to the cabin's features such as the wood stove. The cabin was impeccably clean and well-appointed. We had a great time exploring the nearby North Bank Habitat Management Unit, as well as some waterfalls, the colliding rivers, and the small town of Glide, not to mention the beautiful North Umpqua River in the backyard! This won't be our last trip to the Blue Heron House!"
